Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, attempts to fix two vulnerabilities by pinning several @backstage dependencies to specific versions. However, this approach is problematic in this monorepo which uses Yarn workspaces. Changing from workspace:^ to pinned versions will cause dependencies to be fetched from the registry instead of using the local workspace packages, which can lead to inconsistencies and break the development workflow. I've added a critical comment suggesting to revert these changes and address the vulnerabilities by updating the transitive dependencies within the workspace structure. The PR's own warning about failing to update yarn.lock further supports that this is not the correct fix.

Pinning these Backstage dependencies to specific versions breaks the Yarn workspace setup. The workspace:^ protocol ensures that local packages from the monorepo are used, which is crucial for development and consistency. By changing this, you are forcing Yarn to download these packages from the registry, which can lead to version conflicts and ignore local changes.
To fix the Snyk vulnerabilities correctly, you should identify which transitive dependency is vulnerable and update it within the appropriate Backstage package, or update the versions of the workspace packages themselves across the monorepo while retaining the workspace:^ references.
The PR description also warns that yarn.lock could not be updated, which is a strong signal that these changes are problematic. Please revert this and address the vulnerability at its source.

Snyk has created this PR to fix 2 vulnerabilities in the yarn dependencies of this project.
Snyk changed the following file(s):
plugins/scaffolder-backend-module-rails/package.jsonNote for zero-installs users
If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the
.yarn/cache/directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to runyarnto update the contents of the./yarn/cachedirectory.If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.
Vulnerabilities that will be fixed with an upgrade:
